Michael Feldman began his career in politics before transitioning to business consulting. Initially, he worked as a legislative analyst with the Democratic Policy Committee for Senate Democratic Leadership and served as a floor staff assistant in the U.S. Senate Democratic Cloakroom.
In 1992, two years after obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Tufts University, Feldman joined the Clinton campaign. He subsequently assumed the role of Deputy Director of Legislative Affairs to the Vice President.
During his eight-year tenure in the Clinton-Gore White House, Feldman held multiple positions, notably serving as a senior adviser and traveling chief of staff for Vice President Al Gore from 1997 to 2001.
In 1997, the Vice President expressed his satisfaction with new staff appointments, saying, “I am pleased that Maurice has agreed to join the staff as my political director. He has done excellent political work on behalf of the Democratic Party, and his extensive political experience will be a value added to our ongoing work to move the President’s policy agenda forward.” He added, “I also look forward to continuing to work with Michael, Kim [Tilley], Lisa [Berg], and Ansley [Jones] in their new capacities. This is a great team, and these moves will make our office even more effective.”
